(512) Lonely Ghosts

"As I expected, the situation began to spiral out of control,

Every once in a while, there will be a tragedy of monsters attacking civilians, and the scene of the crime is often blurred with flesh and blood, so cruel that people can't bear to look at it directly, but because the number of crimes is too small, the identity of the victim is low, and it is not taken seriously.

The mansions of the wealthy businessmen and high-ranking officials were located in well-guarded high-class residential areas, and under the protection of armed bodyguards, they routinely threw extravagant and depraved parties, deaf to the screams of the outside world.

Monopoly bosses and high-ranking officials of the planet's federal government are the rulers of our home planet, and these people are too lazy to care about the lives and deaths of ordinary people.

Occupying the moral high ground, sitting firmly in their position, and grabbing more benefits is what they care about.

There is also hope, some politicians with responsibility and a sense of crisis have begun to try to wake up the people, but unfortunately the common people are also insensitive,

They no longer read books, they no longer climb art, but go to soap operas that are not nutritious.

They no longer worship heroes, they only focus on those morally corrupt entertainment stars, and over time, people become stupid and lazy, deaf and blind.

Because our planet is rich and technologically advanced,

The food supply is abundant, the industrial products are abundant, and the welfare benefits are good, and even if you don't work, you can't starve to death.

None of the people have endured hardship, lived a life of entertainment to death, forgot that they were also animals, and lost the survival instinct to fight.

The big guys have lost their primitive sense of distress, and they have all become hypocritical and arrogant, hypocritical and stupid.

A conservative MP who wanted to change the status quo was ignored because his voice was not taken seriously, he resigned in anger and left behind a sentence before leaving;

If a person loses his humanity, he can be called immoral and uncivilized. But without animal nature, it's hard to even survive! ’

It's a pity that no one in the parliament listened to his advice, the streets were flashing with neon, people were still drunk and dreaming of death, and the hosts of entertainment programs used him as a laughing stock.

In the period that followed, the rate of reproduction of alien organisms was completely out of control, and their numbers were so large that they could not be counted, and the Bureau of Statistics roughly estimated that there were at least 10 billion or more.

Whether it is in the countryside or on the city avenue, even in offices and residential buildings, there are their footprints.

People's pets are eaten as snacks, and the lives of vulnerable children and the elderly are threatened.

At this time, even the most stupid politician realized the seriousness of the matter,

The politicians and big entrepreneurs who control the planet put away their hypocrisy, and instead of calling the monster an alien creature, they named it 'Devourer', counted its crimes, and began to order a total hunt.

However, it was too late.

The alien creatures that were in desperate need of rescue have evolved extraordinary physical abilities and intelligence,

They already have potential, but they are unable to grow due to the harsh natural environment, and once they enter the habitable planet, they will rise unstoppably with the momentum of destruction and decay.

Their weapons are strong bodies, deadly infectious diseases, and most terrifying of all - adaptability and reproduction.

The discovery that people fear –

Surrounded by themselves, everyone is caught in a difficult war, and they begin to pin their hopes on the Planetary Defense Force.

The combat effectiveness of the army, which has been idle in the camp for a long time and lacks training, is extremely low, the soldiers are fat and cowardly, and the officers are all related households who come in through the back door to eat empty salaries, and they do not know how to fight at all.

The initial hunting and encirclement turned into passive defense later, and then it became a struggle to survive, the opponent continued to evolve in battle, and the monsters were far stronger than us, smarter than us, and crueler than us.

The battle was lost from the start.

As the army retreated, the last sporadic resistance faded away, and the survivors fled to underground shelters to survive, struggling to survive in subway stations and bomb shelters.

Invasive alien species have become masters of the home planet, and our once glorious civilization has been destroyed.

The federal government of the planet that fled underground repented, and since there was no possibility of counterattack, people began to rummage through the data to find the cause of the failure, and the final result was shocking to everyone.

The root of all the disasters was a great act of mercy from one of the crew members of an interstellar exploration starship, and the news was sent to shelters across the planet.

It's ridiculous that a mighty civilized world should be ruined by kindness!

On the ground, alien monsters need to eat constantly in order to further grow and evolve, and wild animals and captive livestock are devoured.

They reveled in the ruins of the metropolis, and now that their prey was gone, they began to kill each other, and the rule of the jungle eliminated the weak, inadvertently speeding up the pace of evolution.

Underground, thousands of shelters were invaded, and the survivors were eaten as snacks, meat and bones.

No one can escape death, whether high or low, whether men, women, young or old, there is no one left.

Some, a terrifying monster that is good at digging holes dug through a protective wall up to ten meters thick and invaded the Linxia Research Institute.

The security guards and staff were completely wiped out, including the leader of the facility, me, as the head of the research team, but only physically devoured.

Fortunately, in the previous one, my research project was successful in time, allowing me to detach my spiritual consciousness from my body in time.

From then on, I was like a ghost, lingering in the state of a spiritual energy body.

I silently observed the atrocities of the Devourers,

These monsters, which were once barbaric and backward, have evolved to a height that I can't understand-

The height of God,

The way they progress is so elusive that they don't need labs, calculations and formulas, and somehow they find a way to break through the three-dimensional world and rise to the rank of four-dimensional creatures.

They can make their minds leap from a distance, use their spirits to control intelligent beings in other galaxies, carry out subtle guidance, induce each other to destruction, and even use space-time rifts to travel through time and space, and transfer huge physical bodies to the past.

Although Devourers have evolved into god-like beings, they still retain their original, most primitive survival instincts, the feral nature of killing.

In order to satisfy their brutal desires, they began to search for and invade other star clusters, destroying one brilliant civilization after another, and it was simply a plague that rampant in the universe.

The only thing I wanted to do during these long years was to take revenge, and my parents, wife, and young daughter were brutally eaten by the devourers who invaded the Institute.

I am the last survivor of a civilization, the last soul.

This hatred is endless, and this hatred will never be forgotten!

I'm not a warrior, I'm a scientist, I'm used to solving problems through technology,

Without scientific instruments and laboratories, I could only concentrate on the study of living organisms, and made significant progress.

I've been confident that I'll be able to create creatures that rival the Devourers, but unfortunately I don't have a physical entity to experiment with, and I can't put my ideas into practice.

That's it

A lonely ghost full of resentment follows the enemy and wanders among the stars, this is my story. ”
